Maine Governor Baldacci Celebrates Launching of New Sabre 52 Salon Express Yacht
March 16, 2007, PORTLAND, Maine – Governor John E. Baldacci joined representatives from Sabre Yachts today to launch a new luxury motoryacht, the Sabre 52 Salon Express, and celebrate the boat builder’s ongoing expansion into the global boat building market.
The boat was unveiled at a private showing at DiMillo’s Old Port Marina and coincided with the Maine Boatbuilders Show at the Portland Company Marine complex.
“Maine’s boat builder’s are setting new standards in quality and pushing boat building standards on an international level,” said Governor Baldacci. “Sabre is meeting industry demands and staying competitive in the global economy.”
The Sabre 52 Salon Express sets a new level in size and sophistication for the South Casco-based company and features many exceptional design features such as a large sun roof over the main salon and hull portlights, which provide an abundance of natural light to the yacht’s exquisitely crafted cherry interior.
In recent sea trials, extraordinarily low sound levels of 72 decibels were recorded at cruise speeds, which will provide a very quiet ride for owners.
Sabre, a member of Maine Built Boats, designed the new motoryacht to meet dealer and customer demands. Sabre considers the boat as a new company standard in boat building that will take the business to the next level in the global market.
